let me know if the mix sounds alright i'm deaf from banging this way too loud in my headphones for the past 30 minutes lol

edit- edited in new link turned the sample and bass up WORD

Nice listen. Very laid back vibe to it diggin that

Im not to keen on the technical side but my ears ain't complaining lol

only issue i have maybe that intro could be a little more uptempo
But thats prolly just my preference.

Keep working bro

Shit was kinda hood. Something like a Ferrari f50 woulda smashed on about 13 years ago

word thanks wise

and word inno i know what you're talking about. its the last segment of the intro. the only way to chop it clean was to take more off of the end of the chop, but then time stretching it to fill the space makes the tempo seem off.

like the intro is 8 bars including the needle drop. 2 beats of needle/record static, 2 beat horn thing, 2 beat horn thing, and 2 beat horn thing.

the last 2 beat horn thing is the one thats off. the other two sound fine because i didnt have to clip anything off them to make it work.

if you listen to the sample i used, the horn stab comes on before the kick drum in the sample. i took it to the kick initially, but it sounds weird with the horns dropping a split second before the drums, so i just chopped the section where the horn starts before the kick out, and stretched it to fit

the stretching causes it to slow down in relation to the others.

the intro took me the longest tinkering wise lmao. i'm thinking i'm gonna go back in and not time stretch it, and just drop it in relation with it, but it might make the beat come in too soon. i dunno lol

this might sound like technical mumbojumbospeak but word thanks for checking

I would chew this beat. If I ever get put on I'm making you my exclusive producer/beat maker whatever you call yourself. This made me really want to buy a mic and record. Thank you.

dope

some of your samples sound mad familiar just arranged differently

but yea, loved the overall feel of it. good shit. that little break from like 1:50 - 2:00 was ill when it dropped back in.

Sounds like a ghostface beat

gutter.
gotta go hard on something like this. calls for it

Word word see you explain the technical side and now it makes sense lol
Keep working on your craft b

I'm writing to this today.

word? like one he's used, or one he would use?

im sure this samples been flipped before. the youtube channel i took it from basically just posts samples from hip hop songs. i didnt recognise this tho. i don't listen to ghostface lol


but word thanks bro's

Horns sound like the Simon says jawns haha

This shit tuff

I will listen to this. I could listen to it now but I won't, not because I am not interested, I am, I like what you do, i dunno why but i regularly think 'i want to listen to that' and then i just don't.

It is very much a problem with me, not you, my brain is broken.

Nice

nah, I mean like one he'd be on

pretty dope.
